Amulet depicting a goddess

Standing figure of a goddess, striding with left leg forward. The goddess might be identified as Isis. Her headdress is broken, but it was a hathoric crown composed of a solar disc with cow horns, resting on a modius. The modius, still present on the head, is adorned with a uraeus, its tail is visible at the back of the head. A suspension loop composed of two bands is present on the back of the head. The goddess has a tripartite wig and is wearing an ankle-length dress. The arms are at her sides and the hands are clenched into fists. The feet are missing. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts.
